EPL Talk

Ian Darke summed up Arsenal's perilous status as Premier League title contenders Sunday by eloquently closing the Bolton vs Arsenal broadcast with the words "Going, going, gone." Just as those words crystalized what happened to Arsenal's Premier League title hopes, they may symbolize the chances of West Ham, Wolves, Blackpool and Wigan staying up this season.

The trio of myself, Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer discuss these topics plus many more including the race for Europe, discussions of key matches from the weekend, can Chelsea make a surprise run for the title, Fernando Torres's goal and much more.

Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer dissect the weekend that featured two FA Cup semi-finals and plenty of Premier League matches. The duo discuss Manchester City's surprise win against Manchester United, what it means for Stoke City to get past Bolton, Arsenal's near win against Liverpool, the battle to avoid relegation and much more.

Despite a top of the table that's providing little reason for conversation, myself, Kartik Krishnaiyer and Laurence McKenna have plenty to discuss on this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast. In the hours before the show went to tape, Stan Kroenke's bid for controlling interest in Arsenal was reported. We spend the first segment of the show discussing the potential implications of the American's acquisition of the storied North London club.

Then we consider Sunderland's sink, Hodgson's Baggies revival, and all the stories in and around an increasingly dynamic relegation battle. Finally, we look back to the top of the table, but only to get some context on Tuesday's match at Old Trafford: Chelsea going to Manchester to take on United in Champions League.

In this week's show, Laurence McKenna and Kartik Krishnaiyer discuss the major headlines from this past Premier League weekend dissecting everything from Manchester United's comeback (and Wayne Rooney's torrent of swear words) to Arsenal and Chelsea's failure to get all three points, as well as all of the other games in the Premier League. Kartik returns with some Premier League history. Richard Farley is out this week.
